Just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean it’s safe.

For me, chip clips are like socks — you buy a few at a time, but eventually they end up disappearing into an unknown abyss. For those several instances I’ve lost a chip clip, I lazily fold or tie chip bags or sliced bread bags in a manner that is not secure and usually speeds up the process of food becoming stale or growing mold.Fortunately, I came across a simple TikTok hack that I thought could work to preserve my pantry snacks including chips and cereal.

It's time for tea!
